Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Plant investigation: the reported complaint was not confirmed as the complaint device was not returned for manufacturer evaluation.A production records review was performed on the reported lot.There were two other complaints reported against this lot.One addresses an external leak and the second addresses a particulate found in the dialyzer.They are unrelated to the current internal leak event.An investigation of the device history records (dhr) was conducted by the manufacturer.There was one deviation notice (dn) reported on the lot which was unrelated to the complaint event.There was no indication of product nonacceptance, deviation, non-conformance, rework, labeling or process control failure during the manufacturing process which could be associated with the reported event.The lot met all release criteria.A definitive conclusion regarding the complaint incident cannot be reached without physical examination of the actual device.Therefore, the complaint is not confirmed.
